Ann’s Reviews > The History of Sexuality, Volume 1: An Introduction > Status Update

This vol is very fine in making historical interconnections that constitute what Foucault calls a new regime of discourses that didn't stifle sexuality but brought it to the fore & reshaped it through scientific classifications, giving it the label of truth. But in fact this truth served more power than it did knowledge. Sexuality is defined by the state/church/science to serve power of capitalism/the state/church.
